White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World

Chapter 201 The Death of a Loyal Minister

In the early morning of the next day, Shang Rong wore a court dress and a jade belt and went to the inner courtyard of the palace alone.

King Zhou had been playing, singing and dancing with Daji and others for the past few days. He didn't go to bed until early in the morning every day. At this moment, when he was sleepy, when he heard Shang Rong's request to see King Zhou, he immediately showed an impatient expression.

However, Shang Rong had a higher seniority than his father and had the merit of protecting the country. Even if he came to say hello, he still had to meet him, so King Zhou had to turn away a few girls and go to the palace to announce the summons.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister, I'm sorry. I wonder why you're here today?"

King Zhou was too lazy to ask for help, but he didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw that Shang Rong was sick and bones.

Shang Rong was used to seeing him like this. Looking at the darkening of his eyes, he knew he had not slept all night.

"Your Majesty, I think that Si Du Yuanxian, the head of the Sitian Supervisor, was watching the sky at night and found that there was a monster in the palace. If he is allowed to let it go unchecked, the foundation of the Great Shang Dynasty will be difficult to protect!"

"Oh? Monster..."

King Zhou frowned, and then realized that Daji had just entered the palace and a monster appeared. These ministers clearly did not want to see him having an affair with a beauty!

"This man is really vicious. He dares to say that my beauty is a monster! Come on, please tie up Du Yuanxian with a rope immediately and take him into the palace!"

"This! This is not possible, Your Majesty!"

Shang Rong originally thought that King Zhou would not listen to the dissuasion, but he did not expect that he would directly punish the loyal ministers. Wouldn't this chill the hearts of the ministers?

It was a pity that he was old and weak, and before he could cry out, he was helped to the inner hall by a group of soldiers, so that he would have to work less.

When Mao Shi arrived, the ministers who participated in the political affairs came to the court in a sparse manner. Unexpectedly, King Zhou, who had not been seen for more than a month, actually came to the palace to attend the court!

"See Your Majesty!"

The idle ministers hurriedly saluted and said hello, but King Zhou was so angry that he didn't care about them at all.

He had not slept all night, and with the anger attacking his heart, he immediately showed his exhaustion. The royal nobleman did not know where he found him, and he went directly to the palace to pat his chest and back for King Zhou.

The loyal ministers below could not help but express surprise. This King Zhou actually ignored the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers and recruited beauties to accompany him in the palace!

But before a few people could come forward to dissuade them, they saw a group of soldiers running out of the court, looking like they were going to capture the guilty minister.

Nabigan couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to make you so angry."

King Zhou immediately frowned: "Huh! How dare Du Yuanxian say that there are evildoers in the harem? Doesn't this mean he is scolding the lonely king for not understanding people's hearts!?"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers were stunned, but Fei Zhongyouhun, who was standing beside him, showed disdain. Seeing that King Zhou liked you, he insisted on stabbing you. This was obviously asking for death.

As for those ministers who had long been complaining, their expressions suddenly became clear.

In the past, although King Zhou was too lazy to do government affairs, he still came to the court to listen to the government. Now, as soon as Daji entered the palace, King Zhou completely abandoned the government. What is she if she is not a monster?

Thinking of this, everyone wants to plead for Master Du. Such a loyal minister and good general must not die unjustly in the court!

There was a commotion in the court, but at this moment, Du Yuanxian was pressed towards the imperial city by the soldiers. Neighbors came out to watch, wondering why this peaceful and generous gentleman was captured.

"You don't need to panic, we are just following orders."

The guard who led the team had a calm tone and was not rude because Du Yuan was ordered to commit a capital crime. After all, things in the court were changing rapidly. Maybe this lord would be a high-ranking official in a while. Will they have a good ending by then?

After hearing this, the people felt a little relieved. Some people who were usually cared for by Lord Du even went to Nuwa Palace to pray for blessings and hope that everything goes well for Lord Du.

This Chaoge City is neither big nor small. Du Yuanxian's position as Si Dian is not a high-ranking official, so he naturally lives in a remote place. By the time Mao Shi arrived at the outskirts of the imperial city, many people had arrived.

When they were about to enter the imperial city, a clear voice suddenly reached Du Yuanxian's ears.

"Where are you going, sir?"

Du Yuanxian looked up and saw that it was a young man in a green shirt. He had handsome features and a light body, like a god.

"Uh, I don't know, this little friend..."

Of course he didn't recognize the person coming, and he was also a little curious about how the young man could leave at will under such heavy guard.

Fortunately, Wu Ling had no intention of pretending to be powerful and stepped forward to grab Du Yuanxian's hand.

"Do you know, sir, that this is a dead end?"

Du Yuanxian was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that this person was trying to persuade him to leave, so he couldn't help but break free of his arm.

"Of course I know, but the general died on the battlefield and the loyal minister died to advise him. This is the inevitable result for me. I only hope that my death can awaken your majesty's conscience."

Du Yuanxian's eyes were firm. He knew King Zhou's attitude when the soldiers came to fetch him, but even so he had no regrets.

Wu Ling couldn't help but sigh after hearing these foolish and loyal words. If King Zhou could reverse this catastrophe, he wouldn't need so many immortals to fill it.

However, before leaving, the master specifically told him that if the master didn't want to leave, there was no need to force him, just help him save his life.

Wu Ling took a step back and left Du Yuanxian, who was surrounded by soldiers.

"Since you are determined to die for your country, I won't persuade you any more. I just hope you won't regret it."

As he spoke, Wu Ling tapped his right hand, and saw a green fairy light slowly blending into Du Yuanxian's eyebrows. This was the essence of his ten thousand-year-old Shou Wu Ling. As long as this person's body was not destroyed, his soul would be safe.

"This! Who is this little friend!"

No matter how stupid Du Yuanxian was, he knew that he had met an immortal, but he was so surprised not because he wanted to survive, but because he hoped that the immortal could help Dashang get out of the predicament he was in.

Unfortunately, as the emerald light fell, the green-shirted boy turned into specks of brilliance and disappeared into nothingness, without any trace left.

Seeing this scene, Du Yuanxian almost knelt down to pray, but the guard next to him brought him back to his senses.

"Sir, what's going on?"

When Du Yuanxian saw the stunned expressions of these guards, he realized that only he could see the young man just now, but the opportunity disappeared after he rejected the immortal god's kindness.

"Hey, nothing happens. Just lead the way..."

Du Yuanxian shook his head and walked heavily into Longde Hall.

Contrary to what he imagined, after Du Yuanxian knelt down, King Zhou did not directly order the killing, but instead looked at him with a gloomy look.

He wasted a lot of time along the way, and with the comfort of Shang Rong and other veterans, King Zhou's anger had actually subsided a lot. As long as he stopped mentioning the celestial phenomena, his life could be saved.

It's a pity that Du Yuanxian had long been determined to remonstrate to death. King Zhou happened to be in the palace today, and he actually told all the hexagrams about the evildoer entering the palace. Shang Rong and others couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing this. You want to die to remonstrate loyalty!

In this way, King Zhou's anger that had just subsided erupted again, and even the royal nobles on the side were frightened and angry. They couldn't help but cry and beg King Zhou to make the decision.

"Here comes someone! Tie this Du Yuanxian and beat him on top of a golden melon outside the palace. I'll see if he still dares to talk nonsense!"

"yes!"

The warrior in front of the palace immediately accepted the order. Without waiting for the ministers to plead for mercy, Du Yuanxian was hit by the golden hammer. Is there any life under the flesh and blood mold lake?

Shocked to see this bloody scene, King Zhou and the noble prince showed excitement!

Kneeling on the ground, Shang Rong's eyes were red. However, the king was stupid and it was useless for him to hold on to his identity.

Just then, an angry shout suddenly came from outside the palace. It turned out that the doctor, Uncle Mei, had arrived late and was furious when he saw Lord Du being innocently tortured!

"Who gave you the courage to punish the minister!"
